Kathy and family;
I am sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I have many good memories of her and your dad while growing up in the U.P. Church in Ellwood City.
May our Lord’s love and peace be with you.

So sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful woman and will be missed.
So sorry to hear of your mother passing Kathy. She was truly a kind and compassionate woman. I am sure that her and earl will be riding the clouds together on their Holy Ghost mo ped. Love Jim and Penny Arkett
I had Mrs. Moyer as my third grade teacher at North Side School back in the late 60’s. She was a wonderful teacher. We made butter in her class…and ate it on crackers! Over the years, I always enjoyed running into her at the store or out and about. I have thought of her often lately. Such a kind and caring lady. She touched so many lives. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Kathy and family
Sorry to learn of your mother’s passing! We don’t get the newspaper and I haven’t checked it online for a while so I missed the visitation.
I remember you, your mother and dad well from Calvin. Your mother was such a gracious lady!
Do you remember the mission trip to Kentucky so many years ago. I still think of it from time to time.
May the Holly Spirit bring you comfort in your loss!
